Last week I did make some progress on eldest nephew's sweater, but when it was time to find a take-along project for my Saturday out, I realized I couldn't take it.
I have about two and a half inches before it's time to start the neckline, and that's something I'd rather puzzle out at home. (Yes, I have a pattern. But I've been knitting straight for a while. Reading and binding off and counting happens now, and I need to be able to focus.)
So, time to pull out the beanie...
Not too far from finishing this one. If I focused on it this week, I'd probably finish it. But, I want to focus on the sweater neckline. (What the beanie will look like finished, different colorway.)
I rather like the double yellow band. I'm glad I left the error.

The beanie does look good
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI like the yellow in the beanie too. I'm hoping to go back to working on my baby tiger project today.
ReplyDeleteI like it, too! Do you get this week off, I mean is school closed for the holiday?
ReplyDeleteYes, we get the full week off.
DeleteThe beanie looks great.. love the ex pattern detail.
ReplyDeleteI like the double yellow band too!
ReplyDeleteI like the mistake. Also, just imagine how many scientific discoveries have been made through errors. Perhaps the same as true for knitting and crocheting projects. I’ve done crocheting as a passenger requiring counting and reading, and it is no fun at all, especially when the car bounces around our great New York State roads.
ReplyDeleteI can't focus on yarny work in the car. I've tried. Although, it's been years, so maybe things have changed?
DeleteI like the stitches on it, the X sort of ones.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the tricky part of the pattern. Not so tricky, really, but the "interesting" part, anyway.
DeleteAll the best, may you be able to finish it this week.
ReplyDeleteThe beanie is looking great! The yellow band really pops. Amazing how mistakes can end up being the best part.
